Story5 out of 5 stars 604
In his critically acclaimed Armageddon, Hastings detailed the last twelve months of the struggle for Germany. Here, in what can be considered a companion volume, he covers the horrific story of the war against Japan. By the summer of 1944 it was clear that Japan’s defeat was inevitable, but how the drive to victory would be achieved remained to be seen. The ensuing drama–that ended in Japan’s utter devastation–was acted out across the vast stage of Asia.

Outstanding exposition of the War in the Pacific and its aftermath and brilliantly narrated. This covers the war at sea and on land from the perspectives of all belligerents and critiques fairly the decisions of commanders on both sides.
